Half-Life Hints
Where is the power generator?
1 of 12: The actual pathway to the main power generator is blocked.
2 of 12: But, there is a hallway that leads to the generator which branches off of the hallway to the track control room. So follow the signs for the track control room.
3 of 12: The power generator is quite a ways away from the track control room.
4 of 12: You will need to follow the lower hallway until you come to a room that has a red door.
5 of 12: To open the red door, you have to use the wheel on the wall.
6 of 12: The red door opens into a small silo that has some catwalks that run along the wall.
7 of 12: Follow the catwalks and climb the ladders until you reach the highest level of the silo. Watch for soldier-fire from above.
8 of 12: Also, be sure to grab the four Mp5 grenades from the little room where a bullchicken is pulling a dead soldier into a hole in the wall. (Don't bother shooting Chicky, as he can't hurt you from in there.)
9 of 12: The highest level of the silo opens into a room with a soldier, a deployed auto-turret, and some radios. Take care of the soldier and turret, then grab the ammunition that is lying around.
10 of 12: Follow the hallway and be on guard for soldiers hanging around.
11 of 12: You will come to an area where the soldiers have set up their temporary headquarters. Deal with the soldiers and take the nearby elevator down.
12 of 12: You will have entered the area where the power generator resides. As it kind of spans multiple rooms and floors, I will call the entire area "the power generator."
